Yep. Cops don't protect and serve the people. They protect and serve capital, i.e. corporations, the rich, oligarchs, etc.

I read cops were stopping people from fleeing the evacuation zone in Georgia's chemical fire today
Wow, what heartless assholes these fascist pigs are.
I lived through a hurricane down in Texas. And because power was out for a week in my area, and I lived in an apartment, didn’t know how to prepare, and didn’t have many options, we did need supplies.
And there were more cops there to oversee the distribution than there were people distributing the FEMA aid.
If those cops had instead just helped distribute, they wouldn’t have needed cops there at all. The only reason they needed cops there was because it took 6 hours to get your care package of bananas, apples, bread, and water, and they didn’t have any shade available while waiting.
What, cops do useful work? Don't be absurd.
Please stop using twitter.
Context?
Yeah, I'm not visiting "X".
So they were just denying everyone entry to the grocery store and this really has nothing to do with baby formula?
Everyone please disburse. There is nothing to see here. Global warming is fake news. Now, please return to your homes so President Trump can toss you a free roll of paper towels.
Same as happened in KAtrina. And in 1906 SF earthquake
Profits > ... everything, actually.
